Welcome to the second episode of Shire Adventures in The Lord of the Ring Roleplaying system, sponsored by Free League Publishing, and broadcast live on Arvan Eleron’s Twitch channel. In this episode, the players build their creative cast for this campaign: Trendane Sparks finalizes his human guard, Titch Applebough, and we meet three hobbit characters: Taritoons’ Granny Lavender Hopesinger, a scholar; Amal el-Mohtar’s Coriander Took, a not-yet-expert treasure hunter; and Brad Beaulieu’s Calloran Fallohide, a messenger specializing in cartography. If you like what you hear, please spread the word, and check out the live broadcasts at https://www.twitch.tv/arvaneleron and the past video broadcasts at https://www.youtube.com/@ArvanEleron (Arv’s YouTube channel).
